Counterbalance Miracles in Modern and Building UW Taxes in Timeless

[@tyleradams6817]

I'd love to see more videos on the main Goldfish channel where you play these decks and talk about them without being super distracted by the chat.

[@ther3aper561]

Thank you!

As a player who has played primarily multiplayer since I started in 94, I'm so happy to hear Emperor is still played!!

[@dago6410]

this zaorius deck hits exactly in the middle of my (then) middleschooler heart (as in, in the time when Jace, the Wallet Slayer was a new-ish card)

[@jackl8025]

Match 1, game 1, when the opponent doesnt Spell Pierce your Counterspell to force their Thoughtseize through, they lose the ability to see your hand in exchange for hoping you tap out, potentially wasting one of your turns by piercing your following play. Pierce is also mana efficient enough that they don't mind if you just pass without jamming Counterbalance that turn. I wonder which play is "better." From their perspective, resolving Thoughtseize to see our hand seems relevant, but so does saving the Spell Pierce to protect their own threats.

I think its one of those things where it's literally best to mix it up to make you harder to read.

54:44 teferi can bounce the saga too

Both Jace and Vraska were not found during the aftermath of the war, so Outlaws (hopefully) will have a subplot for why she's back.

[@moobang]

chiming in to say emperor was an old 60 card multiplayer format. it definitely lends itself to casual decks over cedh.

Hi Seth, not sure if you'll see this here, but it would be really funny if you can play mill or lantern control on the modern super league! The old team leagues were a ton of fun IIRC.

[@Dikarika]

20 lands 20 creatures 20 spells was the old kitchen table standard back during revised. 🤙

[@vanblod9338]

Incredible how counterbalance stopping the Dryad ended up winning that game in the end

[@alexandrelima2766]

1:30:08 just subtlety the dryad and you're good

[@sugarwater2716]

"the ninja turtle guy... Leonardo [da Vinci]"

[@Babyboots1]

Emperor??? Shit! We used to play that 25 years ago...my God...

[@maximermolin]

Hi Seth, really love your drafts, could we see new set in nearest time?

[@swampybwoy]

Can’t wait to see you in the super league !

[@GaaradancepartyX]

if you had solituded that azusa in response to the first amulet trigger i think he would have not been able to play two primetimes that turn. He lost anyway so it ended up not mattering i suppose

[@davidhansen5067]

Given how expensive it is to play Modern, the silly hat should be top hats!

[@jekanyika]

I remember you playing Hogaak in the super league.

[@tommygol15br]

3:04:08 if you hate Seth punting horribly due to not paying attention, don't watch the last game

[@stevenanders8631]

We need Dack Fayden Flip

[@MarsBarszs]

If you're just looking to set up the counterbalance i think that mystic speculation is better than omen even

[@heithrobinson996]

Rosewater says we'd have to charge more than what players would pay, but wizards say they don't acknowledge the secondary market. Can't have it both ways mark.

[@M3rett0]

Reading chat's suggestions while brewing D&T was so funny. Dude believes Wedding Announcement is good enough for Timeless lmao. Then there is always that one guy who wants to add Yorion to every single deck. No wonder the average Magic player is terrible.

[@eldenmox5525]

No boromir for timeless?

[@johnf9710]

Don't understand why opt would be played in Miracles instead of otherworldly gaze. I get that opt can highroll into instant speed terminus, but it's so low odds. Gaze let's you look at up to six cards down with flashback. Seems like it would be better for stacking deck for counterbalance or digging for terminus.

[@Phantomzeroneo]

The biggest entry barrier for mtg is the price.

[@RyuPlaneswalker]

Maro : "Bloomburrow will be the best set of the year" And now we know to not get hyped for that one.

[@Kindaichi83]

Opt is a bad card in a Miracles deck. It doesn't help to set up your top decking at all. You're better off playing Telling Time or even 2 more copies of Brainstone.

[@StonedVorlon]

Cowboy Hat Jace... r/mtgcj wins again

[@engelostermann7203]

I do not like historical figures in MtG. I think it ruins what little flavor it has left. It feels very out of place. I like the idea of Expanded Universe but not how it is executed. Expanded Universes should stick with fantasy settings. Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Old World, or Classic Fantasy Battle over 40k, for example. I would love to make a Skaven or Chaos Undivided deck.
